From Florida comes q suggestion IN answer
to the uuesti N, How shall smuss the
baby" Give him taby alligator to play
with. The little creatures are great pets with
children, who are not afraid to take them in
their hands and TO their bosons. or lay them
against their cheeks with loving caresses as
they wouH doll or pet kitten.
They are a cheap plaything, costing but
seventy five cents, AMI are very moderate IN
their wants small tub. half filled with
water and board aid saTting wise-with
one end in the water. upon which they can
creep up and sun theniselves-and twice a
week bit of beef the size OF an English wal
nut, is all they require TO sustain existence
comfortably. A cheap pet, and a charming
one, the children think, who every year take
hundreds of them north in perforated boxes
The first possession Of them is q great delight
to their small owners, who in their extrava-
giant adnirations tske them out Of their boxes
in the hotel rooms and allow them 10 run
about freely.
The lively little reptile, with his cunning
head uplifted and black ewes peerins curiously
about, has trick OF darting suddenly and
disappearing instantaneously under the most
careful watching. He has also fondness for
warm berth and is more than likely TO
turn up, upon search, in the folds of baby s
frock, or, il the infant be asleep, cozly nestled
about the little ones neck, with his pointed
head rooted under the plump chin. Should
baby chance to waken he will laugh and coo
and clutch at his slippery cradle mate, who
win slip away from the little fingers as If
they were CREASED Children have no repug-
nance To the Young gator on the contrary
they love them and encourage their familisri-
ties ard are never tired OF watching their
droll secretive ways-W ashing.on Post.

Home Made KoumIss,

In these days, when everybody is beginning
to realize the danger from intoxicants, it is
well to know about any wholesome drink
that can in any way become q desirable sub
stitute for alcoholic beverages. Such drink
is koumiss. In answer TO question as TO how
it can be made at home The Western Plow-
man gives the following particulars: We pre-
pare koumiss III this way: We take a quart
size, self sealing, glass fruit can and fill it
with sweet milk Then two OF three teaspoon
fuls of sugar is added and the milk well
shaken. About one quarter of cents worth
of yeast cake completes the preparation, and
then the cover is screwed down tight Place
the jar where it will BE- subject to tempera-
ture of about ~ degs Fahrenheit, and shake il
well at intervals Of about one hour. II You
make il IN the morning let it remain until
night, when ii may be placed OH ice OF in
cool place. The next morning it will be
ready for Use. In opening the can 1t had bet
ter he done over pan, as the koumiss fire.
gueutly comes out in somewh Of hurry
II y9a want it particularly effervesce,.t, put
4 little sugar IN the glass you pour it into.
OF course, champagne bottles are better than
fruit cans, but the latter are always handy
and will answer the purpose. Chicago Times

Gradually step by sep the ~ash-rw oman
has found her occupation gone. The increase
of steam lauiIdries has driven her to other
means of livelihood and where she once lived
IN opulence on the proceeds Of clothes washed
at the rat. OF 81 30 and 81 per dozen she now
works 10y the day or does honsework. John
Chiuaman also has had much 10 do with this
worthy's downfall, but his prices are far III

Years many improvements have beer made
in laundry apparatus. A greater part OF the
city Of Troy l. given up to manufacturing
concerns which turn out annually hundreds
OF Thousands of dollars worth OF engines,
whilzers, starchers ard other machinery used
in rapid wasling of dirty linen
In Brooklyn to-day there are no less than
800 steam laundries ss against three four
years ago. Many Brook ynites a few years
ago thought that to obtain clean collars and
cuffs 1t was necessary to send them to Troy
by express each week A number Of firms
made small fortunes catering TO the whinis OF
these capriCious gentlemen, and although It
WAS claimed that laundry was sent up the
river weekly by some It was thought TO be
washed in New York. \ visit 10 a Troy
steam laundry is productive of interest. Each
customer has a private mark, and although
the clothes Of a hundred customers are thrown
into q vat and boiled they are when starched
and dried sorted out III separate and correct
piles.
Brooklynites were at first inclined to look
upon steam laundries with suspicion. They
contended, and with good deal Of truth,
that in passing through the machinery the
collars and cuffs become worn and frayed.
Acids. too, were sometimes used. and these
had a tendency 10 eat the linen. The ma
chinery used at first crude. Button holes
were frequently torn out, while occasionally
Il collar would emerge from the process de-
void of its outside linen. One of the most IN
teresting pieces of machinery to be seen i'll
steam laundry Is the whizksr. This machiIIe
which dries the clothes, makes 900 revoiu-
tious u minute, and is similar to the sugar re-
finer in Its method Of operation The only
hand work done is performed in the starching
room. Here women ars employed, each be-
ing seated behind q bowl Of starch into which
they dip the collars and cuffs. In the sorting
room young men quick of sight, and possess.
ing excellent memories, are employed. The
average health of those employed in the hot
rooms of a steam laundry is good. While
their wages are nos very high the women are
paid from s. to I 10 per week, while the men
receive from So t. s2y.-Brooklyn Eagle.
